d6972a39bf introduced THE_{KMODULES,PACKAGES,LISTS,GROUPS}
As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.

So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
in building those.

7919df829c avoid "nothing to commit" in build.log
Typical (to-be-refactored when having settled down)
"cd/git .../cd -" sequences are tweaked to safeguard
against changing back without having actually changed to,
just in case.

features.in/Makefile left with pushd/popd due to its
three-level diving course (which somewhat asks to be
refactores in functions either but is intrinsically
somewhat complex OTOH).

b56df31624 cosmetic fixup (s/GROUPS/MAIN_GROUPS/g)
MAIN_GROUPS should align better along with MAIN_PACKAGES
and MAIN_LISTS (even if MAIN_ prefix might be suboptimal
given that these packages are essentially extras within
the particular image).

3a5b47e712 improved logging during profile creation
- better *_LISTS printout
- somewhat cleaner .base comments
- more comprehensible git log messages
  + special handling for complex subprofiles
  + no need to commit build.log ;-)

c2f70e5c10 kernel and BUILDDIR fixes
- image.in/functions.mk: rework kpackage()
  + it takes two arguments explicitly now: this adds some noise
    for "generic" invocations but is rather less messy with recently
    introduced STAGE1_KFLAVOUR (which in its turn is rather cleaner
    than messing with KFLAVOURS, especially since soemthing changed
    in presumably apt and we can't rely on kernel packages being
    installed in the order formed).
- BUILDDIR/DEBUG related fixes
  + Makefile: BUILDDIR initialization moved to distro.mk
- build.log += git info

3f012958dc server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).

Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.

SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).

The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different).  So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.

Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
  + actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions

Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).
